"Arson puppies" that have yet to be bid on in the rescue raffle


  • Pickles, an eyeless, slithering chihuahua with a lamprey’s mouth that devours dreams

  • Molly, relaxed, downward-facing, has strong shoulder muscles and a vague air of superiority.

  • An unnamed sphere of fluffy white fuzz at the center of which purports to be a bichon frisé

  • Ersatz, an “Afghan hound” that looks suspiciously like ... hey, that’s just a hound wrapped in an afghan!

  • Pluto, mixed-breed, hand-drawn, 588 dog-years young! A little one-dimensional, but full of heart. Hates mice.

  • Gorloth the Soultaker, a black mist that assumes the shape of a bloodhound when it arrives to ferry restless spirits to the inscrutable void beyond this mortal plane. Loves to cuddle.

  • Zeus, specially curated yorkischnauzapugapoo — adorable, non-shedding, taxidermied. Purse-ready for the right socialite!

  • The Sunday, a hopelessly confusing mix of breeds that poops once a week and has this weird obsession with coupons

  • Mr. Littles, a delightful miniature-miniature pinscher like you’ve never seen — literally! Rest assured, he’s actually there, though!

  • Margins Tax, unloved mutt abandoned near Carson City. Exceptionally desperate for a welcoming home, anywhere in Nevada. Growls at the words "Jeremy" and "Aguero."

  • Cerberus
